I haven’t yet met anyone who has figured out how to get through life without ever experiencing any hardships or trials. I have had my moments where I have wished I could figure it out though! Often I think we look at trials only in a negative way but what if we stopped to think deeper about them? What if we choose to see what God sees when he lets us go through the trials we are given? Why not trust him and let him shape us into who He knows we can become? What if we let Him let our Light out?
While on my knees in prayer tonight
I asked the Lord if he just might
Ease the trials that rain on me
And if not that, to help me see.
And while I listened to his voice
He reminded me of Choice,
The reasons why I’m here below
That I might live, and learn, and grow.
“These trials you have aren’t meant to be
A punishment to you, you see.
But are meant to free the Light
That glows inside you, warm and bright.
It’s once the Light has broken free,
That you become much more like me.”
It’s then I humbly thanked the Lord
For all His love and much, much more.
Because the trials that rain on me
Are only meant to help me be
Much more like Him in every way,
Who suffered more then I can say
But lived and loved most Perfectly
To teach us all just how to be.
And all because of that great love
I’ll put my trust in Him above.
